Just another day.
Just another day for me to pay for something for someone else that I will not get to enjoy.
Just another day someone is going to ask for me to do something for them.
Just another day for my closest family to text me instead of calling and saying happy fathers day.
Just another lonely day like the day before and the day after. People like me don't ask for much and we get nothing in return. People like me are like a role of toilet paper, "We get used and used than thrown away just to get used again and again."
Fathers day hasn't had any good memories since I could remember.
Funny, I felt the same way ten years ago as I do today.
What does fathers day mean to me, huh, just another lonely Sunday wishing ...would, could and am.
Nothing has changed.
Nothing has come into my life like last year and the years before that.
I can give out the world and in return I get " I need for you to do it again."
Funny because how people are.... I can mass send out the letter just to express how I feel and some will think OMG Corey is loosing it. Huh, maybe I am.
Maybe i just for once like to say, " I always hated the holidays..... It really never done anything for me.
I never gotten one of those silly ties, funny hats, yellow and black stripe sweaters and a fruit basket that looks 2 weeks old.
I have always treated myself for the holidays.
Every year I ask myself what do I want for Christmas, Valentine, birthday and fathers day and I get it and I do it.
I never expect nor do I ask for it from anyone but I guess that's why I don't get it. LOL.
The holiday has been what it always has been, Just another day. I try and try to enjoy them. I try to pretend like it means something but they don't and never have.
Maybe this is what a Superman, Batman and Spider man goes through when he is looking back on all the days that they helped the world and the world still turns their back on them.
I know what your going to say.. Someone has to make the first move....
You’r right. this is my first move.

I remember as a child
I loved to climb up tree's
But when I did this
Sometimes I skinned my knee's
But I never let that stop me
Even if blood was seen
I'd still climb that tree
To find a limb, to sit and dream
Of course I liked the big tree's
Because their limbs were strong
I'd find a way to climb up
But it never took me long
I'd use the tree branches
Like people use a ladder
Sometimes it took a while
But that didn't really matter
The only thing that was important
Was getting up that tree
I would sit there so proud
I'd be happy as could be
Now it may not seem like much to you
But to me it was a conquest
I'd climb all tree's one by one
I'd pass each and every test
There was not a tree around
That I had not climbed
I felt so much confidence
I think I could climb them blind
Once I made it up a tree
I'd sit on a limb and dream
Sometimes the view that I could see
Was the prettiest I'd ever seen
I felt so safe and happy
High up in a tree
I felt as if I was in God's arms
That nothing could harm me
Even now that I'm fully grown
I still stop and look at tree's
I sometimes think to myself
I could climb that tree with ease
But of being older
Tree climbing is only now a wish
But I'm here to tell you
My tree climbing days I miss

Happy Mother's Day.
I am proud of my mother... I love my mother with all my heart.
Can you tell uncle to get me a dog on my birthday?
Have a wonderful time and please don't go to work on that day!!!

I made this children's day card for my 4 years old daughter, using A4 paper.
